A Hubble Space Telescope Search for r-Process Nucleosynthesis in Gamma-ray Burst Supernovae
J. C. Rastinejad, W. Fong, A. J. Levan +23
The existence of a secondary (in addition to compact object mergers) source of heavy element (-process) nucleosynthesis, the core-collapse of rapidly-rotating and highly-magneti…
SAGUARO: Time-domain Infrastructure for the Fourth Gravitational-wave Observing Run and Beyond
Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Kerry Paterson, Jillian C. Rastinejad +14
We present upgraded infrastructure for Searches after Gravitational Waves Using ARizona Observatories (SAGUARO) during LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA's fourth gravitational-wave (GW) obser…
Evidence of weak circumstellar medium interaction in the Type II SN 2023axu
Manisha Shrestha, Jeniveve Pearson, Samuel Wyatt +34
We present high-cadence photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN~2023axu, a classical Type II supernova with an absolute -band peak magnitude of mag. SN~…
A Radio Flare in the Long-Lived Afterglow of the Distant Short GRB 210726A: Energy Injection or a Reverse Shock from Shell Collisions?
Genevieve Schroeder, Lauren Rhodes, Tanmoy Laskar +32
We present the discovery of the radio afterglow of the short -ray burst (GRB) 210726A, localized to a galaxy at a photometric redshift of . While radio observations c…
JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger
A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80
The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…
A long-duration gamma-ray burst of dynamical origin from the nucleus of an ancient galaxy
Andrew J. Levan, Daniele B. Malesani, Benjamin P. Gompertz +29
The majority of long duration ( s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to arise from the collapse of massive stars \cite{Hjorth+03}, with a small proportion created from the m…
The first JWST spectrum of a GRB afterglow: No bright supernova in observations of the brightest GRB of all time, GRB 221009A
A. J. Levan, G. P. Lamb, B. Schneider +57
We present JWST and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the afterglow of GRB 221009A, the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever observed. This includes the first mid-IR spe…
The Demographics, Stellar Populations, and Star Formation Histories of Fast Radio Burst Host Galaxies: Implications for the Progenitors
Alexa C. Gordon, Wen-fai Fong, Charles D. Kilpatrick +26
We present a comprehensive catalog of observations and stellar population properties for 23 highly secure host galaxies of fast radio bursts (FRBs). Our sample comprises six repeat…
